It's not loud at all. It's a great vacuum and I haven't experienced it being unusually loud.

Well it is noisey but I can't tell how noisey her's is. It's not as noisey as my old vacuum but it's definitely not quiet. I wouldn't recommend you buying this vacuum either way. It's not very good and is overpriced.

I'd send it back if you can--I've had mine for a while and it oscillates just fine with no noise other than WD40 I wouldn't know what to do to it.

All of what has already been said, AND, the headphone link is very noisy. Mine is anyway. Buzzes...hums... Same with two different inputs, two different power sources, no matter where it is placed. It's not an enviromentally induced noise...it's the converter.

The noise level is negligible.I had a 9.6 volt and I thought it was sweet until I got the 8220 it is super smooth and rotate 5000 RPMs Faster than my previous model and might even have less operational noise. I really love it.

In my opinion no; it is about as noisy as I expected it to be. I barely notice it when it does come on and it may be partly due to just having gotten used to it. However, I can see how someone might say it is noisy. This has been a great machine for me once I got the refrigerant level fixed. It may ship with very little refrigerant and you may need someone to come out and add some if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself.

Personally, I don't find it to be too noisy. It's considerably less noisy than my compressor. It's just like a whirring/windy sound from a couple of fans spinning. But you might check with the manufacturer for the decibel rating for a less subjective appraisal.

Mine is noisy too, a high pitch whirring sound. I wondered if mine was broken as well but it has great suction so I think it's suppose to sound like that :)

Well, weird as it may seem, I am looking for a fan that actually makes a noticeable hum/sound. We use it as a sound conditioner and to drown out external noise when sleeping. Does anyone know of one that would meet that requirement? Ours is about to quit, and it is not the time of year to find one in a retail store. Thank you.

The 30 pint model is a good choice. Quiet? You'll hear it run, but the noise is tolerable.

For what it's worth, I just got the 605 model and there is no buzzing on mine. I think, like most issues with items, it effects a small minority. But of course when you spend $1,000+ if there is an issue you tend to be very vocal about it, which I understand.

It's noticeable but not the worst I've heard. Putting it up high (be careful, drippage) might block it. We had music and the noise wasn't a problem. Can definitely talk over it.Please be aware that I personally had TERRIBLE dripping problems with mine but perhaps it was a defective item. Best of luck if you purchase!

While it is not whisper quiet, it is powerful due to the motor which does make noise. I would recommend going to youtube and looking this product up as their are product videos on there so that will at least give you a better idea of how noisy it is. Thank you ! Magic Mikes Premium Pleasure

During the day It's fine, not too loud. Sometimes I turn it off at night to sleep, but I don't need to have it on 24 hours. This is a hard question to answer because some might like the white noise, but I'm very sensitive to noise. Sorry I can't be more definitive. TV is OK on low.

I purchase the Sony XBR4 40" on Jan 7, 2008 from CC in New Hampshire. It was on sale at $1999 - the lowest price I've seen after the holiday. I was concerned about the "fan noise" prior to purchase based on threads I had read. And . . this TV definitely does make a low level fan noise/hum that is only noticeable when the volume is low or during prolonged quiet in a broadcast. Also, relative to the previous post, the unit is not enclosed and has excellent ventillation all around. The noise is not related to heat, it is there when the TV is on. However -is it enough to make me return it? Not yet. I have 30 days to decide if it is a real issue. The picture on this TV is nothing short of stunning. We watched the Patriots beat Jacksonville on Sat. night and then watched football again on Sunday and other programs and the "fan noise" issue was a non-issue. If I really want to hear it, I can turn down the volume and - yup - there it is. But it falls into the category of refridgerator noise, computer fan noise, new car noise, etc. (noises I don't think about anymore.) I think there is no definitive answer because some will be driven to distraction by the noise - others will forget about it quicklly and enjoy the experience.

My inline Panasonic 30NLF1 exhaust fan is extremely low noise. I have to strain to hear it. I should have added a small light to show when it is on.Buy the highest CFM you can afford.

Yes. I own the DC44 and I've used it on numerous occasions. I hope this helps.
